Well I thought I might have to throw the printer out the window trying to get this pattern to print correctly, but I didn’t. It’s here, now, and it works. And that’s what’s important right? By the way, page two is just there to taunt me. So just print page one. Take that you stupid pattern!?! OK, am really losing it. Just talked to a digital file. Just talked to a digital file.
We have spring fever here. It’s so warm and breezy and lovely this week. And as I type this I’m sitting in my car outside my house because both my kids fell asleep on the way home from hanging out with friends in Ann Arbor this morning, and rather than try and haul them inside and hope for more napping, I parked outside our front door and grabbed my laptop. So here I am, in the car, typing. UPS guy just drove up with a package for Elliot (thanks Grandma H!) and said “this your new office?” He has no idea how right he was.
The pattern is size 3-6 months, but I added the modifications I made for a 6-12 month size too, and I’m sure you could extrapolate a 12-18 month or 2T size from that too somehow. And you know what? You never know ’til you try. I’ll let you know if I do (so please don’t ask me how much to enlarge for a four year old. I have no idea).

And for those of you who just arrived, this pattern goes along with this great fantastic non-troublesome tutorial for baby tights, where you can find the instructions for constructing them.

This is fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing!
As soon as fall rolls around, I'm going to try making these in a 2T. I'd make them now, but in Mississippi it's child abuse to put a baby in tights after Easter.
Good job! I will try to have to make some for one of my girls. I just had to throw away a bunch of them that had holes.
We lived in A2 for a couple of years and Lansing for another couple of years. I loved Ann Arbor. It was definitely my favorite midwest city we lived in.
Plus, I have totally done the sit in the car thing, though not with a computer. Good idea! ;0p
THanks! I'm going to feature you & link back.
Haha–"extrapolate" – you're definitely a science/math person
Thank you so much for sharing! That's super nice. And I'm a little relieved to hear that even a pro like yourself sometimes gets taunted by stupid formatting issues. I am a complete novice myself and am usually in way over my head. And I have no idea how to upload things as patterns, so you are my hero. Have a great weekend!
Adorable. Simply adorable. I am expecting my sister to tell me she's pregnant any time now so I imagine i'll have a good excuse to whip some of these up!
i drafted a 2t yesterday … now to find the perfect shirt to attack and turn into tights !! thanks rae!!!
These tights are just FANTASTIC!!! Thanks for sharing your pattern and how-to…
Hugs

You rock for sharing this!! Thanks!
so great! Again, you are a GENIUS!
Love your new office.
Love that the UPS guy is dropping off stuff to you.
Love that you talk to digital files.
Love that you're telling people to figure out how to make it for a 4T on their own. AMEN
Goodness these tiny tights are just so cute – do you do them in my size?! BTW I've just purchased your buttercup pattern with license to sell. I made up the free pattern a couple of times as gifts, and love making it so much that I want to make more to sell, in both sizes! I've linked to the pattern from my site http://bit.ly/cTdOAo
Hope to see more bag patterns soon! Jen xxx
Oh my gosh! Your little girl is so beyond adorable! I love the gray and red/white stripes!!!
Little pipi longstocking???
My babies are going to be so spoiled some day!
So, I love this pattern and am addicted to making tights for my 6 month old! The problem is that I've spent MORE money at Salvation Army looking for shirts for tights than I ever would spend if I just bought her tights!
Thank you for sharing yet another wonderful project!
I loved these and wanted to give them a shot. They came out great. I do have to make a higher rise because of cloth diapering but so cute. Thank you! I love your blog by the way. If you wanted to check them out http://craftedbymama.blogspot.com/2010/03/loung-pants.html

Thanks for getting the tute and pattern up. I can't wait to make this one. I have pink/white strips and a dark grey waiting to go, but I never thought of the old t-shirt idea. Now I'll be scouring the op shops for suitable patterns!
thank you so much for this AWESOME pattern – I have been looking for this for a while
so glad i found this tutorial! and just in time for cozy-cute tight season to set in….i love seeing my fat little bean with her legs like sausages stuffed in striped tights! by the way, my little nugget's name is Clementine, too!
Cool!!
I tried the tutorial on a pair of capris size 1 leggings and it worked out great!!!
Love the tutorial!!! I made a pair using a size one pair of leggings and amazingly it worked!!!
These are awesome
I made some months ago for a coworker (well, her daughter) and she loved them! Thank you so much for the free pattern!

[...] I love her photos and her sense of humor, and that she’s always willing to venture into unfamiliar territory–like sewing with knit fabrics, in her recent Kniterviews Series (a must-read if you’re working with knit fabrics). She even has a free pattern for a crazy-cute pair of handmade tights! [...]
I just love these patterns! Just what I wanted. My printer at home is broken so I have been emailing them to my husband at work to print! He thinks I’ve gone mad as he doesn’t really understand what they are! Thanks for sharing Rae.
